"Great Four Pillar Deities, please heed my command!"

The moment Ashe shouted those words, even Mercury Trojan Horse's expressionless face, which looked as though it had been carved from concrete, went blank for a moment.

Harvey remained calm, completely unaware that anything was amiss. As a seasoned buffet terrorist, he used the same set of social pleasantries when dealing with all sorts of partners, whether sexual partners, corpses, or ordinary people. Phrases like "You've gotten so stiff," "I'll be gentle with you," and "You're reacting so strongly" were second nature to him. Consequently, Ashe's words sounded entirely normal to his ears. If sorcerers could command corpses, then of course they could command the Four Pillar Deities.

Tahmas turned around and gave Ashe a thumbs-up.

That left only Iger, whose feelings on the matter were decidedly mixed.

Though he frequently called Ashe an idiot, Iger was confident that he couldn't possibly have been this dull. So how could he still manage to make such a blunder?...
